[SU&D] The Epicenter Maze

There are multiple universes of what can be and is. One small change can send it veering off in an entirely different direction. At the epicenter of this tangle of possibilities and realities is a simple worldlet, not connected to anything at all. Built long before universes intertwined, it houses a flat plane of existence: a 25x25 square grid.​

Made of mile square tiles, these form a constantly shifting landscape where tropical rainforest can change to desert with only a tiles difference. On one of these shifting tiles is a citadel of white stone. This is the lair of The Chained One. Bound since the beginning of this plane’s existence, he is trapped on that single tile. Despite this, he has power enough to stage a series of games to pit people plucked from time lines and universes against each other, the winner being granted release from the maze and one desire granted.​

Always at night these tiles move, but not all of them or even one of them. Sometimes they swap places with others and other times there seems to be no pattern at all.​

You have two choices: Kill off everyone else in the tourney, or defeat The Chained One.​

Should you defeat The Chained One, all others who are left alive will return with you but you will lose the chance to have your desire granted.​

But the fate of this game is not chained in place. Is all you can do is just play the game?​

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Here’s the Character Template. Feel free to include whatever abilities you want. Feel free to also use canons from games and the like- in the world of the Cat anything is possible. ​

Abilities:
History (Optional):​

Abilities: Everyone will have restrictions on their original abilities, more than likely. There is a mechanic in this RP that I call the SoulSpike. It is a magical device that is implanted into you through both body and soul. This is what connects you to the Maze. If you remove it, you sever the tie between yourself and your universe. I dare someone to do it so the others can see what will happen.

The SoulSpike also acts as a limiter. In this respect it modifies your abilities to make fights more evenly matched. So even if your character can move at the speed of light, the SoulSpike will reduce it to make it a fairer fight- you will still be fast, just not nearly as fast. The limiter function will act differently on everyone; it may turn out that some characters will not be limited. Moderation is the key.​

The soulspike looks like a bit of the night sky. It glimmers in the light. Not really a spike persay, more like a bolt.​

The Tiles: Of note themselves, the tiles vary widely. Some may be from worlds you know, others might not. Each one comes with its own series of challenges. Sometimes the terrain will be difficult. Other times you may find yourself under attack by the tile’s inhabitants. Most of the time it is easy to tell where one tile ends and the other begins; regardless, be careful.​

Movement: Given the varied terrain, assume that your character can move 4 tiles of any terrain per day. If your char moves faster than this...consider it a nerf. If you plan to move to another tile, send me a PM and I'll tell you your options from that particular tile.​

For those that like to keep a map, it is always oriented the same way as a compass rose. That is on a 2D surface, North is up, East is right and so on and so forth.​

Starting out: Most of you will simply have the basic terrain to work with. Someone you will have otherthings that need to be said. These will be given to you via PM. They must be included in your post. Whether you choose to do anything with them is up to you.​

As prmosied, I'm in, but Myu-Jishan will take a lot to make him RP accessible, and as promised, I have to choose a few of his abilities to keep and ones to remove. Some are removed undoubtedly, since they are unstoppable, but I'm too proud to use them in RP.
 
Name: Myu-Jishan Hitoyoroshi

Age: 1254

Race: Nemesis (meaning he is a member of a group of five, they all are their own race)

Gender: Male

Appearance: First off, his left arm has no flesh. It is pure bone with some tattered cloth dangling from the horridly torn thin cloth jacket that he wears. This jacket is black and there is only one sleeve that covers his right arm. A black leather glove covers his right hand. Although his left arm has lost all muscle, Myu-Jishan can use his spiritual energy to move it at his will as if it was still alive. His shirt that rests under the jacket that has been torn to resemble almost nothing is a plain white shirt, nothing is on it. He wears a pair of blue jeans and a black chrome studded belt to hold the pants up. His dark brown hair is about 6 inches long and mostly flows to the back of his head, as if there was some breeze brushing his hair back. His skin tone is rather pale and underneath his mask is a gentle yet violent looking face. His eyes show the eyes of a blind man, as he is indeed blind. He also wears steel boots that climb over the pants he wears. These boots are light because they are thin.

Weapons:
881392-3254832720_2a673f7c68_large.jpg

It is a weapon that is staff-like and can be split into two identical weapons and combine back into one.

Personality:He cares about nothing. He was created from mankind's lust for power. He has all the power all of man wishes they could hold, and he uses it against them. His goal is to eliminate humans from the world, which will in turn erase him from existence. He does however, believe in conservation, thus the reason he wears the cursed mask he has. He chooses not to unleash all his power because he fears his power. Having had bad encounters with what he can do to himself, he chose to lock himself away until he needed to unleash everything he had.

Abilities:
Mask of Restriction: Myu-Jishan wears a mask that has no holes for either mouth or eyes. The mask also shows no facial features on the outside and basically looks like a metal plate over his face. This mask is a magical mask that has the power to restrict the power limits of ones abilities and entire being. The wearer of the mask is cursed with it, as the nature of the mask causes the wearers soul to reside within the mask. The wearer is bound with it until either the mask is shattered or the person is to be destroyed. The mask also can be removed, but still contains the soul of the owner. If the mask is to be put on someone else while the original wearer is still alive, the mask then restricts the power of who is now wearing it and if the mask is still worn by the new person in 24 hours, the new soul will be destroyed, but the body will still exist. Removing the mask is no easy task, and most people cannot do it, but Myu-Jishan can. Removing the mask would cause a large shock wave of pure power to be released from the mask, possibly knocking most warriors back a few meters and potentially damaging other surroundings. Within seconds the wearer’s full power is to return.

Visual exchange: Myu-Jishan is blind and uses this power to see. It takes very little and an un-noticeable amount of energy to use, and when in place, he sees what someone else sees. He can choose to use this ability on anyone in the area, whether it is his foe or a specter. His eyes will go from a solid white to show exactly what his target’s eyes look like, but with his mask on, you wouldn’t be able to see anyway.

Heaven and Hell swords: He can summon two living chain swords capable of extending 25 feet at maximum extension. They have minds of their own, but they work well with Myu-Jishan. The red sword of Hell is offensive and the blue sword is defensive. He rarely uses them, as he is not very good with a sword. The red one cuts flesh while the blue one cuts the soul. This ability is not affected by the mask. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/d.../6/63/DA_AgniRudra.gif/300px-DA_AgniRudra.gif

The compressed element: He can make a ball of energy that can be infused with any element that is highly explosive, When he chooses to explode the ball, which is the size of a golf ball, he either hits it against something, or he crushes it. The explosion size varies by how long he holds it and how much energy he outs into it. He does not have to detonate it. This ability only takes the amount of energy used to make the sphere, and he can fire up to 3 of these per second, though they are not powerful, thy are good for strategy. One would not be expected to be badly wounded, though escaping unscathed would deserve great praise. Unmasked, this ability is slightly more powerful, but mainly only the explosion size is enhanced. Nothing special.

Parasitic energy: Myu-Jishan's spiritual energy acts as a parasite. Alone, inside his own body, it does nothing, but when placed inside someone else, his energy hides itself in the host and eats away at their energy while also expanding itself. However, the drawback is that this replaced energy slightly enhances the abilities of the host, but Myu;Jishan can call that energy out at any moment as it returns to him. In order to put his energy into someone else, he must physically touch them. This drains as much energy as he puts into the host. The host feels no draining and only slight gain in power that increases with time, but when Myu-Jishan takes it back, all drain kicks in, tiring the host.Unmasked, this ability absorbs energy much faster

Shatterheart: This ability is his most energy draining depending on how he uses it. There is a chain within his soul that when pulled out, can be telepathically shattered. This chain is the chain that binds his physical and spiritual shape. When it is shattered, all colors appear to invert, and the metal dust falls to the ground. This lasts ten minutes. While it is in place, when masked, he can change his form to anything he desires within spiritual boundaries. Masked he can change shape once every 2 minutes and it takes enough energy to tire him by the time it fades off if he is to change at every interval he can. Unmasked, he can change once every 30 seconds and it will not drain much energy at all. Using the ability drains no energy, changing forms does.

Demons Aura: A very simple ability. This aura covers his body in a silver light that is shaped as a demons claws and it appears to have wings, but the wings end in looks. The hands of the aura are claw-like, and follow every motion as his hand. All this does is make his opponent feel the same blow 5 times. Very simple ability.

True Form: This ability shows Myu-Jishan for what he really is. Any aura spells and Shatterheat will immediately dissipate and become no more. The very nature of this form cannot allow there to be any aura's and changing his form with Shatterheart would only be a mistake. His speed is untouched by this ability, and his strength is increased greatly, allowing one punch to easily break through a brick wall. In fact, one punch could likely make a tree of about a 3-4 foot radius. When the transformation is taking place, he must be unmasked and it emits a light so bright, most must shield their face from the intense brightness. When the transformation is complete, a blast of his pure energy of parasitic nature surges out in three waves. His energy has also become 25 times more parasitic, and can also feed off of physical matter, but it cannot feed off of organic or living material. The first wave is the 2nd most powerful and will more than likely knock back everything near him and shatter normal walls (I'd imagine the maze walls would stay intact perfectly). The second wave is the third most powerful and can shatter glass and cause walls to collapse, it occurs 1 second after the first. This wave will take out energy from the living things it hits and "throw" it in the direction it is traveling. This will make people feel drained for about 5 minutes before energy is to be replenished. The third wave occurs two seconds after the second wave and this is the strongest wave. It does not hit physical matter, but anything spiritual (magic barriers, spells put in place, etc) will be totally wiped away (other than the Soulspike, for sake of this RP) and it will immediately kill the weak minded, but any normal person would survive. Anyone killed by this wave should not be in combat anyway. The appearance he takes on gives him a tail and two tail-like attachments to his shoulders that are much thinner. His eyes gain a pale yellow color and his sight is gained. Strecthing across his jawbone on top and bottom of his mouth are bones that form together to resemble teeth. These bones cause difficulties to his speech. More bone that is harder than iron has grwon over his hands, rendering them hardly mobile, but deadlier than the sword. They form claws that seem to be very draconic. The single swing of his claws have been known to level entire mountains when he hardly tries. Once in place, he can then use Demons Aura to make his blows 5 times deadlier. His very presence in this form would crush any effect spells when the are done to or get close to him. There is no such thing as magic in this state.

An ability he only can use in true form known as "True Black" that enhances his killing power is rarely seen by anyone. For the most part, if you see this, you will die. Starting from his body, all light is to be sucked in, eliminating all sight. Even sound is pulled into his being, so there is no sound. Once fully in place, one will regain sight of only themselves, and they cannot see anything from their surroundings. They can only hear their own voice. This is because Myu-Jishan can now manipulate where the light and sound waves go. He can also play mind games and make it look as though you have switched bodies with someone else. He cannot see in this state either, but he is free to strike at any moment. Only someone with unfathomable ESP can prevent Myu-Jishan from striking.

Also while in true form, he puts his mask on his left shoulder for safe-keeping.

Infinite nusquam: Within his fleshless hand a black ball is created. It has the power to break down any materials at a slow rate, but it is highly close range and only about 3 inches in diameter. Unmasked, it works much faster and cam be grown to a 10 foot diameter. In true form, this ability can be made into an entire mass, reaching about 12 feet in diameter and breaking things down so fast, it looks as if it dissolves it. In all forms his takes 3 minutes to charge up, breaking his concentration would cause him to have to restart.

Soul of a Destroyers Earth: Revealing spiritual claws, he buries them into the surface that rests under his feet. This ability is only as powerful as the minds of others within the area. The stronger ones mind, the stronger the ability. It works almost as if a math equation. It is proportional to Myu-Jishan's overall power, but it's level of power is equal to that of his foes positive mind state of the battle. While his claws are in the ground, extensions of pure energy extend from his body. The amount and the strength of each one depends on his foes mind-state. He uses them as new appendages, capable of extending them up to 100 feet and are stoppable by physical materials, such as a blade, but they will electrify anything they touch.

Sword Mist: What seems like a liquid fog pours out of Myu-Jishan's body. This mist floats about 20 foot in radius around his body. It appears to be silver, but condenses on cold materials. What he leaves behind is then replenished from his pores. When this mist is inhaled, not only does the victim gain some of Myu-Jishan's parasitic energy, but half of what is inhaled seeps into the blood of the victim. The other half is crystallized into tiny blades that reflect a silver light. These blades painfully cut their ways through the victims body. This will eventually kill someone after 12 hours. Then, with the blood his mist has infected, he can manipulate it telepathically, and he can do anything with it as long as it stays infected. With it, he can push blood into any body parts, cause internal bleeding. Once the blood is freed from the vessels he can then use it to squeeze organs, and if blood leaves the body, he can make it crawl along the floor and start to attack new victims. Unmasked, the mist is thicker and more potent and can envelope a 100 mile radius around his body. The blades now take less time to kill, but cause more pain. The blood is also infected much faster, and he can then control the speed of the heart, but other blood manipulation features stay exactly the same.

Blood chains: He can cut open his body and pull the blood out. It forms into a chain that appears like that of a logging chain. He can change the hardness and overall quality of the chain at his will, and he can also add anyone elses blood to this chain. It makes for a good set of weapons. No effect masked or unmasked or in true form. He can give the chain of blood spikes if he so chooses, or other such add-ons

Puzzle Box: After a small chant and a 5 second charge, the victim or victims are trapped in a large cube, about 60 feet by 60 feet. They are also given a 3x3 Rubik's cube. When the move one side of the rubiks cube, the cube they are inside of does the dame. Once the Rubik's cube is solved, they cube the victim is trapped within is to be released. The cube is only breakable from the outside, the inside is a magic restricting area, so there is only weak magic allowed. Physically, the cube is harder than most earthly materials.

And more to come, this is still in progress.

:hmmm:........................................give me a while for a bio....or I could use one of my characters :/
 
So, thougth I'm not done with my bio, think I could go ahead and claim Kuja? Would I need a bio?
 
An androgenous angel of death that wants to destroy the world?

imokaywiththis.jpg

Yes, you need a bio for him. Additionally, actual characters will need a history and now that its been brought up, yes you can have more than one but only two. At least until one dies.
 
Indeed, and here is the profile ♥

Name: Ebony "Enoby" Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way
Age: 17
Appearance: http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/a/af/Ebonydark%27ness_Dementia_RavenWay.jpg
Weapon: Wand, Silver bloodstained knife, and a random pistol that appears in her hand instead of a wand sometimes...or takes the place of her wand after a few moments(?)
Personality: Ebony is practically perfect in every way: she's a goffik masochistic satanic vampire who everyone falls madly in love with upon sight. She is highly emotional, being fanatically devoted to her boyfriend, various bands, and maintaining a sexy goffik wardrobe. Indeed, Ebony is absolutely incapable of doing something that is not either sexy or goffik, and often finds herself at the center of attention, despite wanting nothing more (apparently) than to be a normal girl with a normal boyfriend. She is highly superficial, and will try to screw you if you're a goff (assuming you don't try to screw her first, of course) and kill/hate on you if you're anything else - especially if you're a prep or a poser.
Abilities:
Breaking the fourth wall: Whilst this is somewhat minor, Ebony's strength of character is so over/underwhelming that she has the ability to control the one who is attempting to write about her, making them write in first person with barely legible grammar, which occasionally crops up in the middle of the dialogue as well, as the author struggles to break free from her mind-numbing influence. Ebony not only defies grammar, she erases it entirely and replaces it with excessive ellipses. Literate minds are often driven insane simply reading something she has had a hand in. She will often leave author's notes at her current state of mind or about people she is familiar with before telling her story.
Plothole: Ebony seems to exist entirely in her own little universe. At any time, she can jump on her broom and fly to her room, where she will weep for a few hours, or cut her wrists open, or smoke pot. She also has a strange habit of quick-jumping massive distances - at one moment she is in Hogsmede, the next she is in a classroom doing a class that doesn't actually exist in the school, such as Hair of Magical Magic Creatures. Nobody can explain why, and nobody really cares.
Self-mutilation: Ebony slashes herself frequently, and yet she barely bleeds. She often makes others cry tears of blood, which they also recover from extremely quickly.
*insert name here* came: No doubt because of her highly charismatic personality, anything and anyone in her presence will come at one point or another. In the most dramatic of moments, everything will come in her presence. EVERYTHING. This happens without warning, and often without explanation.
Time-loop/Misfortune/WTF is going on here?!: Ebony loves MCR concerts, and she is always anticipating attending one. Yet despite this, every time she goes to one, it is in fact NOT MCR, but Volsemort and his Death Dealers. Whilst they are technically villains who occasionally use archaic speech, they never actually accomplish anything, and play just as well as the real MCR...right up the point that Ebony suddenly returns to her room, anticipating the very same concert she attended but moments earlier. Its a never-ending cycle that makes little sense.
Shape-changing: Ebony changes clothes at the speed of light. Every time a new chapter of her story starts, she's wearing something new: something which is often described in painful detail. She can get off her clothes just as quickly, if not quicker, and is already ready for "you know what".
Abusive teachers: Whenever Ebony is in trouble, an abusive teacher by the name of "Dumbeldoor" (or usually "Dumblydore") will appear out of nowhere in a black Avril Lavigne robe and scare off the offender with bouts of virulent swearing and random spells. His erratic behaviour is easily explained by the throbbing headache he has - he's normally a gentle, kindly old man.
Magical abilities: Presumably, Ebony has some magical skills, being a seventh-year student. However, she rarely uses these, only using the killing curse, Avada Kedavra (or sometimes "Allah Kedavra", "Abra Kedabra" or other similar variants) and its not known if it ever actually works, since she doesn't usually pay attention past the point of actually using the spell.

History: Very little is known of Ebony's history: what is known is confusing and tragic. Her vampire parents were somehow killed in a car crash, which she somehow survived. Presumably she went to some care home - however, she may have defied the universe by aging rapidly, ignoring her childhood entirely for the sake of advancing her story - until she was ready to attend Hogwarts, where she immediately became the center of attention. Upon her arrival, the school became a den of the occult and the goffik, with the Slytherin House attaining glory at every opportunity, and Ebony herself somehow winding up in the middle of it. She got together with Draco/Drako Malfoy at some point, however she also had dalliances with "Vampire" Potter and "Diabolo" Weasley, subverting everyone to her goffik cause. She has since become the primary target of Volsemort and his Death Dealers.

...I'll write a little sample post later for your amusement perhaps ♥
 
EVIL TOGEPI. :rage:

But yeah. I'd like to join. I'll have a bio together sooner or later.
 
Since I had wanted to start RPing sooner or later, and since Gavin has been pestering me to join in SO MUCH, I've decided I'll join in. I should have the bio done soon as well .
​
 
You were pestering. Admit it. :hmph:

But good to have you aboard, Raye. :ryan: Now I just need to decide whether I want to make a male or a female. :rage:
 
as Gavin peste... I mean, asked me nicely, to join this too, I will. Just... not sure what character. I'll figure it out later. :rage:
